Clean offices before the first coffee
Nobody notices a clean office, but everyone notices a dirty one. So we work when your teams are not there: very early in the morning, so everything is ready when people arrive, or in the evening, once the last person has switched off their screen.
A morning visit has freshness on its side: kitchens and washrooms are spotless just when they get the most use. An evening visit allows more time and means we cross paths with nobody. We decide together, based on your alarm, your access arrangements and how your premises are used during the day.
A five-person practice does not need the same rhythm as a floor of eighty desks. Some clients choose a daily visit; others prefer two or three a week, with a thorough clean on Friday evening so the week starts in tidy premises.
The Arenas and Grand Arénas, next to the airport
The business district growing up around Nice airport and its transport hub brings together recent office buildings, often shared between several companies. You get in with a badge, sometimes after checking in at the building's reception, and each floor has its own rules.
We coordinate with the building manager on access times, lifts and a place to store our equipment. It is also the first part of Nice on the road from Cannes along the A8, so our morning rounds often begin here.
In these buildings, shared spaces matter as much as your own offices: a communal kitchenette, a bookable meeting room, a terrace. We can include them where your lease or the building manager allows, and the report separates what was done inside your premises from what belongs to the common areas.
Nice Méridia and the Var plain
Further north, Nice Méridia was designed as an urban technology park where offices, research, young companies and housing sit side by side. The buildings are recent, with large glazed surfaces, raised or concrete floors, terraces and shared common spaces.
Some premises include technical rooms or laboratories. We only go in if your protocol says so, and on the terms you set. The checklist makes it clear what we do, what we leave untouched, and which areas are for your staff only.
Big windows and pale floors show everything: fingerprints, dust, chair marks. These are the points we photograph most often in the report. Terraces and shared balconies get the same attention, with furniture wiped and floors swept at the agreed frequency.
The port and the centre: practices, agencies and period buildings
Around the port, avenue Jean-Médecin, Masséna or Libération, offices often occupy apartments in older buildings: parquet floors, cornicing, fireplaces, high ceilings, narrow lifts or stairs only. Equipment gets carried up by hand, and products are chosen to suit the wood or the stone.
Law firms and accountants, estate agents, architects, healthcare practices outside clinical areas: each profession has its own demands, from a waiting room that must be spotless at 8.30 am to an agency window that passers-by look at all day.
The centre also has its traffic constraints: scarce parking, pedestrian streets, restricted delivery times. We plan our rounds to arrive on time without relying on a free space outside your door.
What a visit includes
Each site has its own checklist, written with you. Here is the base we most often start from, before adapting it to your premises and your frequency.
- Desks dusted, without touching files or screens left on
- Meeting rooms put back in order, tables and whiteboards cleaned
- Kitchen and coffee point: worktops, sink, microwave, fridge at the agreed frequency
- Kitchen appliances wiped down on the outside
- Washrooms descaled and disinfected, supplies checked
- Bins emptied, with recycling kept separate
- Chairs and armchairs dusted, armrests included
- Floors vacuumed or mopped according to the surface
- Door handles, light switches and lift buttons disinfected
- Interior windows and accessible glass partitions
Discretion, confidentiality and access
In an office we come across contracts, client files and sometimes screens left open. The rule is simple: we move no documents, we read nothing, and we touch computers only to dust the outside.
Keys, badges and alarm codes are handed to our own team, never to outside contractors, because we do not subcontract. Cleannproof records every arrival and every departure, so you always know who entered your premises, and when. If a badge is lost or a code changes, we tell you straight away and note it in the report.
If your business has particular rules, such as a locked archive room or a director's office that is off limits, we write them into the checklist. They then apply on every visit, without anyone having to remind us.
A report your office manager can read in thirty seconds
At the end of each visit, the Cleannproof report goes to the person you choose: office manager, facilities lead or managing director. It shows arrival time, departure time, every completed item and the photos taken on site.
Issues are in there too: a bulb to replace in a meeting room, a leak under the kitchen sink, paper supplies running low. If you have several sites between Cannes and Nice, each one keeps its own history, available at any time.
The report also works as a handover: when the office manager is on leave, whoever covers receives the same information and knows exactly what has been done.
Setting up cleaning for your offices
It all starts with a free visit to your premises, where we look at surfaces, floor types, access and any building constraints. We also ask what bothers you today: that is often where most of the checklist comes from. We can come before your teams arrive, so you see the premises as we will find them.
You then receive the checklist and a quote. After the first visit, we go through the report together and adjust whatever needs adjusting. For an office move, the end of building works or a seminar, we also take on one-off jobs.
If your needs change, with a growing team or an extra floor, we update the checklist and the quote rather than starting again from scratch.
